Cleaning And Maintenance; Waste Holding Tank - Bailey Caravan Owner's Manual

20. Waste Pump-Out System: When activating the control panel this feature automatically lights up.
When the Waste Holding Tank Level Indicator illuminates, press the Waste Pump-Out button to
pump out the waste from the holding tank into the vehicle's waste tank. The button will flash while
the waste is being pumped and will stop automatically (after approximately 5 minutes) when all
waste has been transferred. If the vehicle's waste tank is full, the Waste Pump-Out light will flash
rapidly and no pump-out will be possible until the central tank is emptied. (Check the level of the
vehicle's waste tank on the vehicle's central console). After the Waste Holding Tank has been
emptied, there will be approximately 1.5 litres of waste left in the tank. This is normal. Add 2 litres
of water and a correct dosage of Thetford toilet fluids to the Waste Holding Tank.
▲ It is vital that the correct amount of toilet fluid is added to ensure the proper breakdown of
the waste in the holding tank. Only use the system when the tank is full. Using the system
too often on an empty tank can cause damage to the pump, which could cause the
system to fail.

4.13.8 Cleaning and Maintenance

The toilet should be cleaned and maintained regularly, depending on the amount of use. To clean
Thetford toilets, we advise using water and Thetford Bathroom Cleaner.
▲ Never use bleach, vinegar or other powerful household cleaners that contain these
substances. These may cause permanent damage to the seals and other toilet
components.
Toilet Bowl
- Squirt Thetford Bathroom Cleaner into the toilet bowl.
- Flush the toilet bowl with water and wipe down the rest of the toilet with a damp cloth.
- Clean seat and lid The seat and lid can easily be removed: Lift the seat and lid assembly and pull
the round pins (inside the assembly) outwards from the pin holes. After cleaning, replace the seat
and lid by positioning the round pins in front of the pin holes and push the lid and seat downwards.
- To keep your flush water fresh and to prevent deposits from forming in your toilet bowl, add a
correct dosage of Aqua Rinse in your flush water tank, if present, on your toilet.
Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry with a soft dry cloth after cleaning.

4.13.9 Waste Holding Tank

To keep your Waste Holding Tank fresh and clean, Thetford has developed a number of different toilet
fluids. Thetford toilet fluids suppress smells, reduce formation of gas, promote breakdown of toilet
waste and increase the life span of a mobile toilet. We advise a thorough cleaning of the Waste Holding
Tank once each season. Next to using Thetford's Cassette Tank Cleaner, the powerful cleaning agent
for the periodical cleaning of the Waste Holding Tank of your toilet, we suggest the following: -
- Remove the removable mechanism from the Waste Holding Tank by turning it anti-clockwise and
rinse it under a tap.
- Remove the cover plate from the Automatic Pressure Release Vent by prising it up using a small
screwdriver. Use one hand to push the Automatic Pressure Release Vent open while holding the
float of the Automatic Pressure Release Vent on the inside of the tank with the other hand. Push
the float upwards, turn it 180 degrees and remove it from below. Remove the rubber seal underneath
the float. Rinse the float and rubber seal under a tap. Replace the rubber seal and float for the
Automatic Pressure Release Vent using the same method in reverse.
